Original stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Flickies' Island, Part 1 #
The Emerald Hill Folk finally come home as the Floating Island lifts away; Knuckles jokes that Sonic can retire, which unsettles him. Bored days later, Tails brings a Flicky and admits he understands its tweet of danger. Meanwhile Robotnik and Grimer test Flickies as organic batteries for new Badniks and plan to rule Flickies' Island. Sonic and Tails set off in the Tornado after the escaped bird.

Captain Plunder · Captain Plunder and the Spice Maidens, Part 2 #
At Zorabel's mansion Plunder meets the five Spice Maidens and is floored by Pepper when he objects to women aboard. Zorabel forces the deal, then briefly agrees her daughters have no place among cut-throats — until Plunder and Filch find the Maidens and Zorabel herself already waiting on the ship as it rises skyward.

Decap Attack · Funny Old Game #
In the Slurp-A-Cheese Cup Final, Transylvania United face a sponsored Black Forest Gateaux side with a bent referee. Head has Chuck seize a ball from the crowd, then bites the penalty-taker's foot and scores himself into the Gateaux goal. The Garlics win; the sponsor vows never to back a match again.

Tails · Flip Side, Part 2 #
Sonic goads cool Tails into saving Bandstand while he catches the co-pilot with an updraft. Amy spots Tails heading for the Tough Tea Club; he picks a fight before Sonic and Doctor Sorders restore him. The clubbers still attack, so Sorders hypnotises them into hippies, and Tails decides he was fine as himself.
